Delivery

So the other day my mom and I were out running around when we came home there was a tall thin box outside the gate. My mother goes to grab the box and walks over and says its for me and it is flowers!!! This time I am even more excited then my last surprise because this time he didn't tell me ANYTHING! So I was not expecting anything at all. Plus, I have never ever had flowers delivered to me before. I mean Ryan brings me home flowers as a surprise but never have I had flowers delivered to me before! They were beautiful miniature roses all different colors. I love them so much and was a little emotional from the surprise and missing him so much I started to cry! I am such a sap. Thank you honey for my beautiful roses! I LOVE them!!!

Happy Birthday To You...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!


Today is my mom's birthday. She didn't want any cake this year but everyone needs a candle to make a wish on so I made fried ice cream. She has been talking about it for a few months now so I figured this would be a perfect time. I hope she had a nice day. I love you mom!

A Month

This past weekend we hit the one month mark since we last got to see each other. I am missing him very much now and I hate to think that we still have four more to go! :( Ughhh!!! I don't know how people who have to say goodbye to loved ones for deployment and other things do it. I am thinking of driving the 8 hours one way this weekend to see him. Ok, that's it. I am boring. Bye.

Surprise

So, in a letter about a week ago I was told to get ready for a surprise that would be coming! Oh boy, a surprise!!! Well in another, "if you know me" story, then you would know how I am NEVER surprised for one reason or another. I just HAVE to know what my surprise will be. It is bad to tell me anything at all. So when I was told something special was coming my mind began to race. With Ryan having a three day weekend coming up (this past weekend) I thought he was coming to visit me...nope. I then had my mind made up...flowers! It had to be flowers. Well today I had a package and it was from my Ryan. Inside was a Halloween card and one of my favorites, Reese cups! I also had a long letter (4 pages). Ryan spent one of his days off exploring the Carlsbad Caverns. So the letter explained in detail how his day was. It even had pictures glued to the pages while he explained. I guess since I wasn't there he wanted to make me feel I got to experience it with him. It was very cute and special, not to mention very creative with the pictures and NOTHING what I was expecting at all. So even though I knew something was coming I was surprised what it was. Thank you honey for my box of goodies!

A Place to Call Home

The past couple of weeks have been a back and fourth struggle on where to live or what I should do with my "career". I use that term lightly since I don't really have a career. Anyway, with not much success on finding a job so far it will be hard for me to get approved for an apartment. I then was thinking about going back to school. Not to get my masters but to completely change majors all together. Culinary has always been an option, I have a love for cooking, not so much cleaning up though. Anyway, after looking into it I realized that option might not work out. Culinary schools seem to lump all their classes into one giant plan. In other words, it isn't like normal college. I can't just go and take a class and pay for just that class. It ends up being very expensive and a bit time consuming since the flexibility of class times are also not like normal college. They offer morning classes and assume you will get a job in the evening at a restaurant getting experience. Makes sense but a restaurant is not where I want to be. So at this point I am not sure this option is going to work out so much. I was also thinking of something in heath care. I don't think I could be a nurse, just the thought alone of a needle gives me a panic attack. So I thought maybe an X-ray tech or something like that. Haven't looked into that as hard just yet. The last option is just get a job but again, no hits to ALL the billions of places I have applied to. Or I just take any job even if its in retail...been there, done that, don't really wish to do that again. So as of now, I have no idea what I will be doing with my time. However I did find a place to live. Drum roll please....

I am moving back home. Much to my dismay, my things will be going into storage and I will be staying at my parents house while I try and find a job or go back to school. This wasn't exactly the plan I had wanted it is the only logical plan as of this moment in time. And my parents thought they could rid of me...haha, I am baaaackkkk!!! Kidding, love you both. :)
